Welcome to Wikidata, Bean49!
Wikidata is a free knowledge base that you can edit! It can be read and edited by humans and machines alike and you can go to any item page now and add to this ever-growing database!
Need some help getting started? Here are some pages you can familiarize yourself with:
- Introduction – An introduction to the project.
- Wikidata tours – Interactive tutorials to show you how Wikidata works.
- Community portal – The portal for community members.
- User options – including the 'Babel' extension, to set your language preferences.
- Contents – The main help page for editing and using the site.
- Project chat – Discussions about the project.
- Tools – A collection of user-developed tools to allow for easier completion of some tasks.
Please remember to sign your messages on talk pages by typing four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date.
If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask on Project chat. If you want to try out editing, you can use the sandbox to try. Once again, welcome, and I hope you quickly feel comfortable here, and become an active editor for Wikidata.
Best regards! --Epìdosis 10:34, 7 January 2023 (UTC)
I see that this bot task ran recently. One thing I'll note is that some of the statements that were added resulted in constraint violations. See for example Q109188683. I wonder if it would be possible to prevent this from happening in the future. Maybe the bot could add a proper statement to Q19828729 even if it's something really generic? I noticed this was an issue because I watch Wikidata:Database_reports/Popular_items_without_claims and the list is just full of items that your bot linked to.

I noticed the problems, but I didn't find any way to programmatically add statements. To add a “really generic” statement, I think it would mean cheating the constraint, I don't consider it the proper way. The resulted problems could be the subject of a new bot request, but I don't see any automatic resolution.
Of course I'm aware to generate fewer problems in the future. --Bean49 (talk) 18:02, 30 January 2023 (UTC)
- I don't speak the language but wouldn't written work (Q47461344) work for most/all of these? Any structure is better than literally nothing as long as it's true. BrokenSegue (talk) 19:01, 30 January 2023 (UTC)
I don't speak either. I could add written work (Q47461344). Should I? Do you want it? Should I add it to parent items and child items too? --Bean49 (talk) 19:42, 30 January 2023 (UTC)
- generally I think bot tasks shouldn't create constraint violations. I didn't realize you just took this task from someone else who requested it. I'm honestly no longer even sure published in (P1433) is the right property for this relationship since these aren't works published in another work but just constituent chapters of another work (as best as I can tell via google translate).

- oh this was requested by @Jura1:. They are no longer active so I guess we can't ask them. BrokenSegue (talk) 20:03, 30 January 2023 (UTC)
I put here the bot request. I'm open to any solution, but these problems generate each other. You said before that something is better than nothing, then now it turns out that it's not so good. --Bean49 (talk) 20:16, 30 January 2023 (UTC)
- that's fair. i don't want to hound you for doing a good deed. BrokenSegue (talk) 21:02, 30 January 2023 (UTC)
